Our yearly trip to the Groulx mountains in Quebec.
This may never happen again. For those that ride Alpine, this is a good story:
Two feet of fresh powder dumped over the past several days. Being a veteran of the Star Valley area, I always head to the unknown honey holes. But on this day, a buddy and I decided, what the heck, let's head up to Blind Bull, where EVERYONE goes when sledding from Alpine. We figured with new snow on the ground, it shouldn't be too tracked up.
We get to the top and not a single track to be found in all of Blind Bull! It was Saturday too. Check out the trench in the pic. This is less than a mile from the warming shack. One of the best bluebird days EVER.

I'm in Bear Lake, we may have to exchange honey hole secrets lolThis may never happen again. For those that ride Alpine, this is a good story:

A beautiful day in Central, OR. My brother and I came across this untouched field. Leaned a bit too much to the left and washed out. He clearly enjoyed the wipeout.

We had many good days last season but this was definitely up there in the top 5
Wawa, Ontario.
My 165 x 3 was the only one not stuck that weekend.

That looks like some decent riding area.
How much snow in that area?
I googled that range, but it seems quite vague.
Care to narrow it down for me?
I know that Quebec is known for a super trail system. But I'm sure this is a bit away from the masses. Does this area have good trail service around that area too? Or is it all cross country?
All crown land? Go anywhere?
I mostly ride the Canadian Shield around Lake Superior, but the forest is very dense, and you only ride in clearings (hydro lines mostly - which I'm OK with) but this looks to be much more open forestry. Terrain may be about the same, but yours is much more open.
Mostly March riding for temp reasons?

This is kind of like a hidden gem in northeastern Quebec. Its right along highway 389. It is in a protected area and you have to have a certified guide to be able to ride there. Also, there is no modified exhaust allowed. They have a brand new lodge that is well setup and the food is excellent.
It gets a fair amount of snow, not sure on the exact amount really. We went this year at the end of March and the snow was kind of setup but that was to be expected for that time of year.
The year before, we went in the middle of February and the snow was unreal. Over the handlebars everywhere we went.
The name of the lodge is Station Uapishka. It might be a hell of a drive for you guys but its only 3.5 hours for us so its fairly easy to make the trip.
Other than being behind bars, by far the best two pics from last season. Perched in the middle of the gnarliest spots of the two best hillclimbs around. Even the minis love getting in on the action!

Turbo schmurbo. Haha. The turbos were not exactly running very good that day. My 174” Doo XM mod but stock engine was running perfect. It just kinda came together and I was taking full advantage of the butt kicking.

You're still under the impression that 60 is old eh?
I try to keep up with one chum that is at least 75!
That daughter is destined to be a sled racer one day?
(hopefully up-hill)
